I feel many people in the world mix China, Korea and Japan up. But actually, these three countries are very different. People in these countries live in different culture: different language (speaking as well as writing), custom, history, religion, and especially thought and attitude& behavior of people.

Since I studied abroand like in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, I've faced a remarkable facts which are related to cultural awareness between my country, Japan, and other neighbor countries, China and Korea.

Until I got out of my country, I didn't know many about Korea and Korean people (I knew more about China and Chinese people) even living neighbor. The reason I didn't know about them was probably because I was not interested in those things very much.

However, I now know how badly Koreans hate Japanese people (more that Chinese do), how badly (and meaninglessly) Koreans consider Japanese as their rivals and how Japaese peope are unaware of that.
